Our history

Our history

In less than a decade, Hiawatha Academies has grown from 140 kindergartners and first graders to a nationally recognized five school network.

In that time, we’ve demonstrated that every child can achieve high levels of success in a rigorous, well-rounded environment, including children of color, children of immigrants, and children from families with challenging financial resources – all of whom have been underserved and undereducated by the traditional school system.

We’re still growing to give even more children a top-quality education and the lifelong rewards that come with it.
